"I'm excited to be back at Southern Miss with the Golden Eagles," said Favre said in a statement. "I'm not committing to a new career in broadcasting, but just wanted to support Southern Miss and check out the view from the press box. It should be fun and I hope the fans enjoy it."
The game will be broadcast on CSS, a regional sports channel in the South.
"CSS is thrilled to have Brett share his knowledge and insight as color analyst" CSS general manager Mark Fuhrman. "We've had a great relationship with Conference USA for many years and I know our viewers will enjoy hearing Brett's perspective on the game."
